The Locomotion Lyrics

Everybody's doing a brand-new dance, now.
(Come on baby, do The Loco-motion.)
I know you'll get to like it,
If you give it a chance, now.
(Come on baby, do The Loco-motion.)
My little baby sister can do it with ease.
It's easier than learnin' your A-B-C's.
So, come on, come on, do The Loco-motion with me.
[Clapping.]

You gotta swing your hips, now.
Come on, baby, jump up, jump back.
Well, now, I think you've got the knack.

Wo, wo.
Now that you can do it, let's make a chain, now.
(Come on baby, do The Loco-motion.)
A chug-a, chug-a motion like a railroad train, now.
(Come on baby, do The Loco-motion.)
Do it nice and easy, now, don't lose control.
A little bit of rhythm and a lot of soul.
Come on, come on, do The Loco-motion with me.
[Instrumental break with clapping.]

(Yay, yay, yay, yeah.)
Move around the floor in a Loco-motion.
(Come on baby, do The Loco-motion.)
Do it holding hands if you get the notion.
(Come on baby, do The Loco-motion.)
There's never been a dance that's so easy to do.
It even makes you happy when you're feeling blue.
So come on, come on, do The Loco-motion with me.
[Backup singers repeat, "Come on, do The Loco-Motion,"
over the following lines:]

You gotta swing your hips, now.
That's right.
You're doin' fine.
Come on baby.
Mmm-mmm-mmm.
[Fade.]
Jump up, Jump back.
You're lookin' good.
Mmm-mmm-mmm.
Jump up, Jump back.
Mmmmm, yay, yay, yay, yeah...
